For those of you that don't know if my plate isn't overbooked and I'm not running around like a chicken with my head cut off then I don't feel ...well, like I am changing the world. And I really want to change the world.
My journey with my Gracies started about 10 weeks ago when I held my first ever women's only nutrition class at Grace. I was expecting about 10-15 ladies to show up that day and when the room kept getting fuller and fuller to say I was overwhelmed and a bit nervous would be an understatement. BUT, I knew this was in God's plan for me, why else would he send 57 women to hear me speak.
So, I told the crowd I was nervous as ever and successfully completed my first nutrition class...with my handsome helper Jim taking care of the technical jargon of course.
Fast forward....10 weeks. Since then, I have held an 8 week challenge in which 20 women started in. We called the group Women Empowering Women and as of last week I was able to measure only 9 of these women to get their results. My first 9 ladies lost a total of 48 pounds and 89 inches.
Congratulations to Gloria 4 7/8 inches lost, Kaitlyn 13 5/8 inches lost, Jennifer L 14 1/2 inches lost, Grace 11 1/4 inches lost, Marilyn 3 1/8 inches lost, Myra 10 3/8 inches lost, Deb 13 1/2 inches lost, Tonya 2 5/8 inches lost, Shelley 14 3/4 inches lost.
I can't tell you how proud I am that they took this opportunity and turned it into a success. The group kept giving me credit and thanking me...but they were the one's that listened to to what I had to say and used it to their advantage. Baby steps are the way to successful changes and they have all have taken that step. I'm proud to be their coach. I have learned just as much from them as they have learned from me.
My challenge is over with these ladies but my work at Grace has only just begun.....please pass this along to anyone you know that would be interested:0)

Hi Ladies,
I don't know if you all remember me or not but Carole Turnbo here with CrossFit Michiana. I just wanted to let all of you know that the first official Grace Community Church Women Empowering Women Challenge has come to it's 8 week end and the measurements are proving to be wonderful. I have only measured 9 of my participants so far but those 9 ladies have lost almost 48 pounds and more astonishing than anything they have lost 89 inches. Yes, you read that right, 89 inches. With two ladies losing over 14 inches each....this is the real deal.
I will NOT be doing another challenge of this magnitude until after the first of the year. I am in the middle of my own competition season and I can't commit the time I would need to each of you in order to run a successful challenge. But I have found an opportunity in my scheduling to coach fitness classes at Grace every other Tuesday evening. If you attend my fitness classes the following day you will receive 6 workout that you should be able to do on your own to maintain until I see you again. And of course you will also have access to me for any of your nutritional questions that go along with changing your life:)
Below are the details of my dates and times that I will be at Grace - I would love to jump start those of you that are ready to take that step on the fitness and nutrition that is real food and works....just ask any of the ladies that attended my challenge....anyone at any fitness level is welcome in my class.
